The  Smithsonian  Institu- 
tion was  founded  by  James 
Smithson,  an  English  gentle- 
man, who  was  very  fond  of 
scientific  pursuits  himself,  and 
a  loving  admirer  of  American 
pluck  and  energy.  He  left  his 
entire  property  for  this  object; 
the  sum  realized  in  1838  was 
upward  of  $500,000.  This  sum 
was  declared  a  perpetual  loan 
to  the  Treasury  at  6  per  cent., 
and  the  income  is  devoted  to 
carrying  out  the  purposes  of  the 
donor —  "  the  establishment  and 
support  of  an  institution  for  the 
increase  and  difTusion  of  knowl- 
edge." Spacious  buildings  and 
grounds,  costing  about  $500,000, 
have  been  erected  in  Washing- 
ton, and,  under  the  able  man- 
agement of  Prof.  Henry,  whose 
name  has  become  a  household 
word  amongst  the  intelligent 
people  of  the  country,  the  Insti- 
tution has  become  a  widely 
recognized  factor  in  the  higher 
education  of  the  world,  honored 
among  the  best  in  spite  of  its 
comparatively  short  record.

A  v ear  renew'd,  the  thought  renews 
Of  time's  perpetual  flight ; 

Bevond  its  bounds  extends  our  views 
To  regions  out  of  sight. 

Time  bears  unnumber'd  myriads  on. 
Nor  leaves  behind  their  trace  ; 

And  we  shall  go  as  they  have  gone, 
And  others  take  our  place. 

Time  is  the  space  to  mortals  given 

To  cultivate  the  mind  ; 
To  seek  a  lasting  home  in  heaven. 

And  all  who  seek  shall  find. 

Each  passing  year,  each  flitting  day, 
Like  stages  mark  our  road  ; 

And  he  who  walks  the  narrow  way 
Shall  reach  the  bless'd  abode. 

— Keble. 


The  winds  are  sighing  —  sobbing. 

Like  mourners  round  a  bier, 
And  from  the  hills  there  cometh 

A  voice  that  soundeth  drear  ; 
As  the  trumpet-call  to  judgment, 

Saying  :  kl  Prepare,  prepare  ! 
Spread  o'er  the  vale  a  fleecy  pall, 

And  lay  the  old  year  there!  " 

Within  are  sounds  of  gladness. 

And  fires  that  brightly  burn, 
And  stories  of  the  olden  times 

Are  told  by  each  in  turn  ; 
Without  the  cry  of  misery 

And  want  salute  the  ears  ; 
And  we  look  on  hoary  winter 

Through  mingled  smiles  and  tears. 

— H.  G.  Adams. 


The  Canyon  of  the  Cata- 
louche,  so  happily  presented  by 
Mr. Thomas  Moran's  sketch  and 
as  happily  reproduced  above  in 
our  engraving,  is  one  of  the 
most  charming  views  of  the 
mountain  regions  of  Northern 
Georgia,  of  which,  with  other 
Blue  Ridge  attractions,  we  have 
more  to  say  in  another  article. 

Stockbridge,  Mass.,  is  beau- 
tifully situated  in  the  midst  of 
the  Berkshire  Hills,  on  the 
banks  of  the  Housatonic.  Like 
many  other  New  England 
towns,  it  has  a  more  mature  and 
finished  look  than  is  common  to 
our  growing,  bustling  country. 
The  population  is  fixed  at  about 
2,000,  except  in  summer,  when 
city  boarders  largely  swell  the 
figures.  Here  Jonathan  Ed- 
wards labored  as  a  missionary 
to  the  Indians,  who  were  re- 
moved westward  in  1788.

3Q. 

NEAR    STOCK  BRI DGE,   MASS.  -  Arthur  Parton. 


Probably  few  sights  in  the 
homely,  matter-of-fact,  nine- 
teenth-century life  of  the  West, 
have  such  a  wild,  romantic  in- 
terest as  a  steamboat  at  night  on 
the  wood-bound  waters  of  some 
great  tributary  of  the  Missis- 
sippi. The  deep  shadows  of  the 
primeval  forest  are  lit  by  the 
glare  of  furnace  and  torch  ;  the 
awful  silence  is  invaded  by  the 
hoarse  roar  of  escaping  steam 
and  the  shouts  of  the  hurrying 
workers,  whose  black  faces  and 
figures  would  seem  to  lighten 
the  contrasted  colors  of  night. 

The  origin  of  the  paddle- 
wheel  for  propelling  boats  ante- 
dates the  Christian  era.  The 
earliest  application  of  steam  to 
turn  it  was  anticipated  by 
Roger  Bacon  Papin  is  said  to 
have  had  a  model  boat  and  en- 
gine in  1707,  on  the  Fulda  at 
Cassel.  Jonathan  Hulls  patent- 
ed a  marine  engine  and  boat  for 
towing  in  1736.  Robert  Fulton 
built  his  boat  on  the  Seine  in 
1803,  and  was  the  first  to  make 
the  idea  work  practically. 

In  middle  or  lower  Egypt 
it  never  rains,  and  the  excessive 
fertility  arises  from  the  flood  of 
the  Nile.  The  natives  do  not 
credit  the  phenomenon  of  water 
falling  from  above.  Hence  it  is 
that  all  monuments  are  so  nicely 
preserved.  Nothing  abrades, 
nothing  corrodes.

SPRING. 


The  passage  of  the  sun  across  the  equa- 
tor, when  the  days  begin  to  be  longer  than 
the  nights,  is  the  vernal  equinox.  In  the 
Northern  Hemisphere  this  occurs  March 
ao,  at  5.43  p.  m.,  when  Spring  begins. 


Spring  lasts  92  days,  20  hours  and  13  min- 
utes. In  the  United  States,  March,  April 
and  May  are  popularly  known  as  the 
Spring  months  ;  in  England,  February, 
March  and  April. 


Lo,  the  winter  is  past,  the  rain  is  over 
and  gone ;  the  flowers  appear  on  the 
earth  ■  the  time  of  the  singing  birds  is 
come,  and  the  voice  of  the  turtle  is  heard 
in  our  land  ;  the  rig-tree  putteth  forth  her 
green  figs,  and  the  vines  with  the  tender 
grape  give  a  good  smell. — Solomon. 

Stately  spring  !  whose  robe-folds  are 
valleys,  whose  breast-bouquet  is  gardens, 
and  whose  blush  is  a  vernal  evening. — 
Jean  Paul  Richter. 

When  opening  buds  salute  the  wel- 
come day.  — Pope. 


A  bursting  into  greenness, 

A  waking  as  from  sleep, 
A  twitter  and  a  warble. 

That  make  the  pulses  leap  ; 
A  sense  of  renovation. 

Of  freshness  and  of  health, 
A  casting  off  of  sordid  fear, 

A  carelessness  of  wealth. 
A  watching,  as  in  childhood. 

For  the  flowers  that,  one  by  one, 
Open  their  golden  petals, 

To  woo  the  fitful  sun  ; 
A  gush,  a  flash,  a  gurgle, 

A  wish  to  shout  and  sing. 
As  fill'd  with  hope  and  gladness. 

We  hail  the  vernal  spring. 

— H.  G.  Adams. 


The  scenery  of  Pennsylva- 
nia is  as  comprehensive  of  all 
the  phases  of  landscape  beauty 
as  can  be  found  in  any  regior 
of  the  same  area  in  the  world. 
From  the  wildest  solitudes  of 
virgin  nature  to  scenes  of  the 
highest  cultivation,  every  ele- 
ment and  form  of  landscape 
beauty  seems  to  be  represented 
within  the  boundaries  of  this 
great  State.  Chester  M  Great 
Valley"  forms  the  most  distin- 
guishing feature  of  that  county. 
This  valley  is  from  two  to  four 
miles  wide.  It  is  shut  in  by 
hills  of  moderate  elevation, 
generally  densely  wooded,  from 
which  the  most  beautiful  views 
may  be  had  of  the  highly  culti- 
vated and  improved  farms  be- 
low. The  rocky  ledges  are 
very  picturesque,  and  yield  ex- 
cellent limestone  and  marble.

Duplex  Grown  SewingMechine 

Manufactured  by  the  FLORENCE  MACHINE  CO. 

TWO      IVl^VCIIirVEJS     1IV     ONE  ! 

Can  be  changed  from  LOCK  STITCH  TO  CHAIN  STITCH 
in  less  than  THIETY  SECONDS. 

I  have  given  this  machine  a  thorough  trial  and  find  it  to 
be  one  of  the  best  Sewing  Machines  I  eYer  used,  and  the  best 
made.    CALL  AND  SEE  IT. 


I  sell  all  kinds  of  Machines.  How  anyone  will  buy  a 
machine  and  pay  J?»r>0  or  !^6()  for  it,  when  they  can  buy 
the  same  machine  for  {$25  or  ^30  by  buying  of  us,  is 
past  comprehension. 

Agents  are  awfully  down  on  us  for  selling  machines  cheap. 
We  heard  of  one  saying  our  machines  were  made  of  leather. 
We  will  warrant  every  machine  we  sell  for  FIVE  YEARS 
and  longer  if  necessary,  and  we  think  our  responsibility  quite 
as  good  as  the  agents  who  are  hawking  machines  around  the 
country. 

The  reason  we  can  sell  machines  so  much  cheaper  is,  that 
it  costs  an  agent  more  to  sell  every  machine  he  sells  than  we 
make  on  a  machine.  Their  expenses  would  be  a  large  profit 
to  us. 

Call  and  see  our  MACHINES  Before  Buying,

Central  Park,  New  York, 
is  a  grand  specimen  of  what  a 
free  and  enlightened  people 
can  do  to  give  themselves  a 
lordly  and  beautiful  pleasure 
ground.  It  is  two  and  a  half 
miles  long  and  one  half  mile 
wide  ;  deducting  for  the  reser- 
voirs belonging  to  the  city  water 
works,  there  are  683  acres  de- 
voted to  the  actual  purposes  of 
the  park.  Prospect  Park,  of 
Brooklyn,  with  the  adjoining 
parade  ground,  has  550  acres. 
This  park  commands  a  fine  view 
of  the  ocean,  and  some  remark- 
ably fine  groves  of  forest  trees  ; 
in  these  respects  it  is  ahead  of 
Central  Park,  which  in  turn 
greatly  surpasses  it  in  orna- 


mental  structures  and  sculpture. 
In  the  two  cities  there  are  1,600 
acres  devoted  to  public  pleasure 
grounds.  Fairmount  Park,  Phil- 
adelphia, has 2.740  acres  of  great 
natural  beauty,  lying  on  both 
sides  of  the  far-famed  Schuylkill 
river.  It  is  unfortunately  divided 
by  the  cuttings  and  embank- 
ments of  two  railroads,  which 
break  in  upon  what  would  nat- 
urally be  its  most  retired  rural 
regions.  Druid  Hill  Park,  Bal- 
timore, has  6co  acres  of  very 
beautiful  old  wood.  The  Chi- 
cago park  system  contains  1,900 
acres;  St.  Louis  has  2,100  acres 
for  park  purposes ;  San  Fran- 
cisco holds  1,100  acres  for  recre- 
ation, of  which  over  1,000  acres 
is  in  Golden  Gate  Park.  Of  sea- 
side resorts  New  York  is  indeed 
the  Empire  City.  Among  the 
many.  Glen  Island,  just  out 
in  the  waters  of  Long  Island 
Sound,  is  one  of  the  most  popu- 
lar. With  its  fine  buildings, 
shady  groves,  and  waters  alive 
with  every  species  of  aquatic 
vehicle,  it  presents  a  charming 
picture  of  gaiety  and  freedom. 

The  daily  income  of  the  Czar 
is  $25,000;  that  of  the  Sultan  is 
$18,000;  the  Emperor  of  Austria, 
$10,000;  of  Germany.  $8,200; 
and  the  King  of  Italy,  $6,400.

THE  LAKE, 


CENTRAL   PARK. - 


Fenn. 


The  nightingale  is  a  migra- 
tory bird,  passing  the  winter  in 
Northern  Africa,  but  in  the 
summer  found  over  the  greater 
part  of  Europe,  even  to  Sweden 
and  Russia.  They  begin  to  sing 
when  mated,  and  continue  in 
full  song  till  the  young  are 
natched  ;  the  notes  are  most 
rich  at  the  beginning  of  sum- 
mer, and  toward  the  end  the 
song  becomes  a  single  low 
croaking  note.  They  are  very 
shy,  remaining  concealed  as 
much  as  possible  among  the 
foliage.  Though  heard  at  in- 
tervals during  the  day,  it  is  at 
night,  on  quiet  evenings,  an 
hour  or  two  after  sunset,  that 
its  song  arouses  the  greatest 
admiration.  Audubon  did  not 
consider  its  notes  much  sweeter 
than  those  of  the  black-capped 
warbler,  and  little,  if  at  all, 
superior  to  those  of  the  wood- 
lark.  It  is,  at  least,  superior  to 
all  British  songsters ;  but  the 
notes  of  the  American  mocking 
bird  are  very  much  sweeter, 
more  varied,  of  greater  com- 
pass, power,  and  duration. 
Many  birds  which  naturally 
have  no  song,  like  the  bull- 
finch, ca.ii  be  taught  to  sing  in 
perfect  time  and  tune,  which 
the  nightingale  cannot.

SUMMER. 


Summer,  astronomically,  includes  the 
period  between  the  vernal  and  autumnal 
equinores,  or  from  June  21,  1.55  p.  m., 
lasting  93  days,  14  hours  and  29  minutes. 

In  the  United  States  we  call  June,  July 
and  August  the  summer  months.  In  Eng- 

'Tis  summer,  joyous  summer-time  ! 

In  noisy  towns  no  more  abide  ; 
The  earth  is  full  of  radiant  things, 
Of  gleaming  flowers  and  glancing  wings, 
Be'auty  and  joy  on  every  side. 

The  sun,  which  is  as  a  bridegroom 
coining  out  of  his  chamber,  and  rejoiceth 
as  a  strong  man  to  run  a  race.  His  going 
forth  is  from  the  end  of  the  heaven, 
and  his  circuit  unto  the  ends  of  it.  And 
there  is  nothing  hid  from  the  heat  there- 
of. —  Psalms. 


land.  May,  June  and  July  are  known  as 
the  summer  months.  Between  the  tropics 
there  is,  properly  speaking,  no  summer, 
the  hottest  periods  being  when  the  sun 
passes  to  the  zenith  at  noon,  correspond- 
ing at  the  equator  to  our  equinoxes. 


A  dreamy  sound  of  waters, 

Falling,  ever  falling  ! 
Voices  of  sweet  song-birds 

To  each  other  calling  ; 
Flowers  all  rainbow-tinted 

Springing,  ever  springing ! 
On  the  vagrant  breezes 

Richest  perfume  flinging. 
A  perfect  satisfaction, 

A  fullness  of  delight, 
A  sense  of  gliding  onward. 

Through  regions  ever  bright, 
All  balm,  all  bloom,  all  beauty, 

Like  some  ambrosial  clime, 
These  are  the  signs  that  tell  us 

Of  glorious  summer-time. 

—  H.  G.  Adams. 


9th  Mo.   SEPTEMBER.  30  cays. 


Lake  George  is  a  never-fail- 
ing resource  of  the  artist  bent 
upon  showing  the  loveliest  as- 
pects of  American  landscape 
scenery.  The  above  view  is 
taken  from  near  the  site  of  old 
Fort  William  Henry,  looking 
north.  This  lake  has  a  greater 
reputation  abroad  than  any 
other  of  our  natural  show 
pieces,  save  only  Niagara  and 
the  lordly  Hudson.  It  is  36 
miles  long,  from  %  of  a  mile  to 
4  miles  wide,  and  in  some  places 
400  feet  deep,  the  transparency 
of  its  pure  waters  being  as  re- 
markable as  the  grand  mountain 
features  of  its  shores  and  the 
beautiful  islets  that  are  pro- 
fusely scattered  over  its  calm 
surface.  Fennimore  Cooper 
plead  hard  for  the  beautiful  In- 
dian name  M  Horicon,"  but  the 
"  George  "  seems  fast  in  history.

Mill  Creek  is  another  very 
beautiful  specimen  of  Pennsyl- 
vania rural  scenery,  about  197 
miles  west  of  Philadelphia. 
From  the  quarries  here  are 
shipped  train  loads  of  sand  for 
Pittsburg  and  other  glass-mak- 
ing towns  of  the  West.  The 
mountains  here  seem  to  stoutly 
dispute  the  way  with  the  river, 
causing  it  to  turn  and  turn  again 
directly  upon  itself,  affording 
most  charming  vistas,  blending 
the  softer  with  the  stronger  and 
more  rugged  beauties  of  nature. 
Like  Chester  Valley,  this  beau- 
tiful region  is  easily  accessible 
to  the  tourist  by  rail,  being 
traversed  by  the  well-known 
11  Pennsylvania"  route. 

Dental  authorities  estimate 
that  trie  13,000  dentists  through- 
out the  United  States  are  pack- 
ing into  the  teeth  of  the  people 
not  less  than  half  a  ton  of  pure 
gold  every  year.

AUTUMN. 


In  the  northern  temperate  zone  it  begins 
when  the  sun, in  its  apparent  descent  to  the 
south,  crosses  the  equator,  Sept.  23,  4.2). 
a.  m. ,  ends  at  the  time  of  the  sun's  greatest 
southern  declination,  Dec.  21,  10.44  p.m., 
lastinj  89  days,  18  hours  and  20  minutes. 


In  the  United  States,  September,  Oc  to- 
ber and  November  are  known  as  the  au- 
tumn, or  fall  months  ;  in  England,  August, 
September  and  October  are  so  called.  In 
the  Southern  Hemisphere  they  have  their 
autumn  when  we  have  our  spring. 


A  moral  character  is  attached  to  au- 
tumnal scenes  ;  the  leaves  falling  like  our 
years,  the  flowers  fading  like  our  hours, 
the  clouds  fleeting  like  our  illusions,  the 
light  diminishing  like  our  intelligence,  the 
sun  growing  colder  like  our  affections, 
the  rivers  becoming  frozen  like  our  lives 

—  all  bear  secret  relation  to  our  destinies. 

—  Chateaubriand. 

Who  is  there  who,  at  this  season,  does 
not  feel  his  mind  impressed  with  a  senti- 
ment of  melancholy?  or  who  is  able  to 
resist  that  current  of  thought  which,  from 
such  appearances  of  decay,  so  naturally 
leads  him  to  the  solemn  imagination  of 
that  inevitable  fate  which  is  to  bring  on 
alike  the  decay  of  life,  of  empire,  and  of 
nature  itself  ?  —  Allison. 


A  perfect  flood  of  sunshine, 

Wherein  all  objects  seem 
A  scene  of  golden  splendor 

That  makes  the  senses  dim  ; 
Beneath  a  blue  pavilion 

A  glorious,  feast  outspread. 
Where  choicest  gifts  of  nature 

Abundantly  are  shed. 

A  lingering  look  cast  backward 

Unto  the  davs  gone  by, 
A  turning  to  the  future 

With  sad  and  anxious  eye  : 
'Mid  autumn's  purple  sunsets 

A  dirge-note  swells  the  blast. 
And  tells  that  soon  the  brightness 

Of  the  year  will  be  past. 

—  //.  G.  Adams. 


Kton  College,  the  most  cele- 
brated of  the  English  public 
schools,  was  founded  by  Henry 
VII.  in  1440.  It  is  located  at 
Eton,  a  town  of  about  3,000 
population,  opposite  Windsor, 
22  miles  west  of  London  by 
road.  The  usual  number  of 
scholars  is  about  750  to  800,  of 
whom  the  larger  part  pay. 

The  Hudson,  at  the  High- 
lands, is  always  grand  :  viewed 
by  day  or  night,  its  varying 
aspects  never  fall  in  interest, 
even  to  those  who  see  them 
most  frequently.  A  peculiar 
feature  is  the  tow-boat,  with  its 
enormous  flotilla  of  canal-boats. 
Some  floating  palace  of  former 
days,  stripped  of  its  saloons  and 
gilding — a  mere  skeleton  of  its 
former  greatness— is  tugging,  by 
a  long  line,  often  as  many  as 
twenty  of  these  huge  barges, 
each  with  its  family  group, 
passing  their  lives  in  this  pecu- 
liar, migratory  fashion.

Saint  Nicholas,  bishop  of 
Myra,  died  about  A.  D.  340. 
He  is  invoked  as  the  patron 
of  sailors,  merchants,  travelers 
and  captives,  and  the  guardian 
of  schoolbovs,  girls  and  chil- 
dren. In  the  Greek  church  he 
ranks  immediately  after  the 
great  fathers.  He  has  been 
reverenced  in  the  West  of 
Europe  since  the  tenth  century, 
and  became  one  of  the  favorite 
patron  saints  of  Italy  and  North- 
ern Europe  about  the  begin- 
ning of  the  twelfth-. 

In  church  bells  no  tune  can 
be  played  but  such  as  are  free 
from  flats  and  sharps,  or  such  as 
can  be  played  on  the  white  keys 
of  a  piano. 

Poetry  is  the  reguiated  effer- 
vescence of  the  brain.  It  is  part 
of  the  excitement  which  takes 
place  beyond  the  demands  for 
natural  wants,  and  thus  displavs 
itself  in  flights  called  imagina- 
tion, and  in  eccentricities  often 
productive  of  much  personal 
inconvenience  in  the  ordinary 
intercourse  of  life.
